Odaily News - Blockchain validator and staking service provider Everstake has announced that the Ethereum team has just announced the upcoming launch of a new testnet called Holešky. The team participated in the Holešky testnet release coordination conference call.
Currently, Ethereum has two public testnets: Sepolia allows developers to test contracts and applications, while Goerli allows protocol developers to test network upgrades and allows stakeholders to test running validators. According to the newly proposed Ethereum testnet lifecycle plan, Goerli will enter the long-term support phase in the first quarter of 2023. After the lifecycle termination date (scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year), it will no longer receive support from client teams. Therefore, the next testnet should be launched by the end of 2023 to prepare for the closure of Goerli.
Holešky will replace Goerli as the testnet for staking, infrastructure, and protocol developers. At the same time, decentralized applications (DApps) testing, smart contracts, and other Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) features can be tested on the Sepolia testnet. Holešky network is named after the Nádraží Holešovice railway station located in Prague, Czech Republic (similar to how Goerli is named after the Goerlitzer Bahnhof station in Berlin).
To replace Goerli by the end of this year, the Ethereum team proposes to launch Holešky no later than September, with the preliminary genesis event scheduled for 14:00 GMT on September 15, 2023.
